Adobe say they are working with Apple on Flash for iPhone

advertisment:

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen told Bloomberg News in an interview that the software company was working together with Apple to develop a version of Flash for the iPhone. In the past, none other than Steve Jobs had said that Flash would be too slow for the iPhone and that Flash Lite isn't capable enough. Even with both companies on the same page, Narayen admits that it will not be an easy task to complete. And still open is the question of whether Flash would be part of a firmware upgrade for the phone, or if it would be delivered to users as an application to be downloaded from Apple's App Store.

I've never had problems with the battery life. Downloaded toggles for WIFI, etc. to be turned off when not in use and the battery life is great. I still don't know that Flash would be worth the time, but the battery life isn't bad at all.

But, I hate the touch screen functionality of the storm so I can't wait for the flash to be available. Oh, and my battery life is great.

Yup, my battery life is great as well. Even with the screen brightness set to 100%, i can watch a full 2 hour movie and still have more then 60% life left.

It will be interesting having Flash for the iPhone.........I hope that they somehow get it to work. :D

And godfather, do you know how flash works? I find it funny that you said it would be "Desperately trying to render" a flash session. Flash doesnt bog down systems like animated gifs do.....

I'm sure the godfather doesn't know what he's talking about. He just took this opportunity to say something/anything negative about the iPhone. When I saw his comment earlier today, I just didn't even bother replying to it.

May I make an assumption? Most people who make rash comments such as "...the bttery life on that thing is terrible now..." I don't think have ever used the iPhone... I don't know, just a guess? (aka: Storm-Loving iPhone-Haters)
